Ocular oncology is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating tumors of the eye and surrounding structures. This area of expertise addresses various conditions, including retinoblastoma, a common eye cancer in children, and uveal melanoma, the most prevalent form of eye cancer in adults. Ocular oncologists use advanced imaging techniques and biopsies to identify these tumors and determine the best treatment options.
Treatment methods in ocular oncology may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the type and stage of the tumor. Ocular oncologists work closely with other specialists to provide comprehensive care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients with eye tumors.
